Generally, the cost of a bone marrow aspiration ranges from about $300 to $800, but may vary depending on the level of the hospital and the city in which it is performed and the test program. Bone marrow aspiration is essential for the diagnosis of most leukemias, and the method is located in the posterior superior iliac spine of the pelvis, or the anterior superior iliac spine to perform a puncture and extract bone marrow fluid.
In a few cases, a sternal puncture may be performed for blood cell morphology to assist in the diagnosis of the disease, to observe the effects of treatment, and to determine prognosis. It is indicated for various blood disorders, different causes of hemocytosis or hypoplasia, and unexplained fever. There are few contraindications to bone marrow aspiration, except for severe hemophilia and some coagulation factor deficiency diseases.
Commonly used sites include iliac crest puncture, sternal puncture, and spinal cord puncture.
In recent years, due to the strong national support for the medical industry and the protection we receive from health insurance, the cost of both medicines and procedures has dropped significantly.
